KJV - Nehemiah 12:44

And at that time were some appointed over the chambers for the treasures, for the offerings, for the firstfruits, and for the tithes, to gather into them out of the fields of the cities the portions of the law for the priests and Levites: for Judah rejoiced for the priests and for the Levites that waited.

At that time, people were chosen to manage the rooms holding treasures, offerings, first fruits, and tithes. They collected parts of the land's produce according to the law for the priests and Levites. This made Judah happy for its priests and Levites who served.
